What are Enablers?
In the past, when Apple released new computers, the system software was revised. To get around this problem, system enablers were written which contain information necessary for newer computers to start up. All Apple computers released since system software 7.1 (September 1992) require a system enabler to start up. If you have System 7.5 upwards, then you will not require an Enabler (it is built into the System file).
Will I need it for Mac emulation?
Very unlikely, except maybe for Systems 7.0 to 7.11 (Pro) - this is because ShapeShifter and Fusion makes your Amiga think it is a Quadra or MacIIci in emulation mode (depending on the version of SS/Fusion you are using). You're better off reading the docs that came with the emulator, to confirm any queries you might have.
